Well actually, he's not; but he could be. More on the AP story concerning four unnamed Suuperdelgates and who they might be below.

So who could they be?
Meanwhile, Barack Obama pocketed the support of at least four Democratic convention superdelegates on Wednesday, building on the momentum from a convincing North Carolina primary victory.
Obama, now the front-runner, was home in Chicago during the day as his aides spread word that he would soon begin campaigning in states likely to be pivotal in the fall campaign. They also relayed word of the four endorsements, expected to be made public later in the day.
Both disclosures were meant to signal fresh confidence that the nomination was quickly coming into his possession after a grueling marathon across 15 months and nearly all 50 states.
So we can spend a few hours wondering who they could be. I suspect high profile names. I suspect John Edwards is one of the names. North Carolina has spoken, South Carolina has spoken and both states with Edwards connections went overwhlemingly to Obama.
The delay in announcing is for two plausible reasons.
1.) Allow time to create a staged event butting up against the evening news. Bring the folks together, make a few statements, answer a few questions, etc. Maximizing the news impact suggests to me that at least one or two are high profile superdelegates; people with name recognition and face recognition.
2). Try to get more superedlegates on board before the annoucnement. "Hey, Mr. or Ms. uncommitted Super, wouldn't you like to get on board and announce with ______ (insert name of high profile Democrat, i.e Edwards, Gore, Carter).
